Article Synopsis
  • Understanding what makes alien species successful can help predict future invasions.
  • Researchers identified three key dimensions of invasiveness: local abundance, geographic range size, and habitat breadth, analyzing data from over one million vegetation plots across Europe.
  • The study found that earlier introductions and certain traits, especially from acquisitive growth strategists, contributed to higher success rates in invasiveness, while also highlighting unique patterns in specific habitats.

A comparative immunocytochemical study was performed on endometriotic epithelial versus endometrial epithelial and normal mesothelial cells in order to obtain further evidence for either the endometrial implantation or mesothelial metaplasia theory. The three cell types could not be distinguished by keratin subtyping, using monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to keratins 5, 7, 8, 14, 18, and 19. The epithelial markers HMFG-2 and BW 495/36, and a newly developed MAb NEND-3 (against endometrial cells) discriminated between generally negatively reacting mesothelial cells and positively reacting endometrial and endometriotic epithelial cells.

Peritoneal fluid (PF) was obtained during the early follicular phase in 24 women at laparoscopy as part of infertility investigation. The cells present in PF were pelleted and cultured. Developing endometrial epithelial cell colonies were identified in 19 women (79%).
